burning them most frightfully. There is not
a spot on Kelly's body as large as the palm

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RUDDYGoRE.

1t is not probable that larger audience,
than that of last evening, was ever gathered
in City Hall. Not only was every seat occu-
pied, but every inch Of standing room. The
last effort of Gilbert g. Sullivan, which called
forth this great demonstration, was received
with much enthusiasm, and may be account
ed a success. "Ruddygore" however will de-
pend more for its popularity on its music
and its action. than its dialogue, as has been
stated by the critics in the cities where it has
already been given. Its wit seems rather
forced, and too much after a set pattern, but
the characters have the good fortune to be III
the hands Of actors who, by their action and
general cleyerness, make a good deal of a
little and keep the merriment at pretty
high mark.
Take Mr.. Branson as Richard Dauntless.
He Is sailor "every inch Of him." and his
lightness and airiness in the hornpipe were
recognized by storm Of applause and en-
core. Miss Lamont, as Rose Maybud, was
very arch and engaging, and her ''early cen
tury'' costume gave additional piquancy to
her rendering of the duet with RObin-Mr.
Reed-in the first act. Miss Alice Carle as
Mad Meg, was especially good, and made
great hit in the duet with Sir Despard, In
"
wearing her 'pattens' on her wrists. Miss
Emma Baker was excellent as Dame Han
nah and Mr.. Reed gave good satisfaction as
Robin. Sign0r BrocOlini Is always satisfy
ing, and never more SO than In the character
of Sir Despard. Mr.. Broderick was state
ly and dignifed Sir Murgatroyd, with rich,
deep voice, and Mr.. Fly was at home in the
part of Old Adam.
The music, as we have before stated, in
cludes some of the best Of Sir Arthur's writ
t. ir foll bo a xuffh "a
madrigals, and old-fashioned music, such as
the duet between Robin and Rose, the Rich
ard Robin and Rose trio, the sextette and
chorus in the first act, and the duet between
Sir Despard and Mad Margaret, and the solo
| of Dame Hannah in the second act; the lat
| ter a most beautiful air. The patter duet
and dance between Sir Despard and Richard
| was exceedingly novel and amusing. The
| chorusses are bright and lively, and the
| finale, with the dance, at the end OF the first
| act was most inspiring. A very pretty min
| uet was danced in the hrst act by the lead
| ing characters. .,,,
having been especially painted for the oeca-
tunes were those OF the early part Of the
century, and the uniforms Of the crack regi-
ments that fought at Waterloo, particularly
gorgeous. A striking effect In the second act
was produced by the electric spark in the
baton of Mr.. Braham, when the ancestors
stepped from their frames in the picture gal
lery. Not the least enjoyable feature was
the orchestra, which consisted Of twenty
two pieces, including some Of Grimmer's
men.
Tonight and at the matinee Ruddygore
will be repeated.
The heat was intense last night. and the
| waits between the acts too long.
NOTES.
1t is reported that Signor Brocolini, one of
the best artists in MIR. Stetson's "Ruddygore'
company, and famous particularly for his
Pooh Bah in the "MikadO," has rendered his
resignation from the organization.

JANE sHARP'S TURN NOW.
His Arraignment Decided Upon-New
and Startling Evidence Promised.

NEW YORK, April 1.-There seems to be
nc doubt that Jacob Sharp will be the next
one of those indicted for completely in the
Broadway steal to be brought to trial. This
had been definitely decided upon by District
Attorney MARITIME, and the preparation of
the case for presentation to jury is now in
active progress
Mr., Sharp's trial was decided upon be-
cause the District Attorney does not wish to
run the risk of another disagreement in the
Cleary case, so he proposes to try some of the
alleged tempters in the famous case, as this
will bring out an entirely new line of evil
dence that has not yet been limited at by the
people of the District Attorneys office.
This, it is now intimated, will be of a very
sensational character, and, after having
been made available in the trial of the chiefs
of the conspiracy, can then be used against
the aldermen who have not been tried The
date for Mr.. Sharp's trial has not yet been
fixed, but it will probably be early in May.

The Indictment Against the Million
ajPe Eorger.

New YORK, April Recorder Smyth in
General Sessions to-day, heard argument on
the motion by Counsellor J. b. Hart, of San
Francisco, to have nolle prosequi entered
on the Indictment for forgery on file in the
District attorneys Office against William
Kissane, now wealthy and influential citi-
zen of San Francisco. The indictment was
for forgery of check for $4,000 in 1854
against the Chemical Bank of this city.
Counsellor Jones appeared for the bank, and
opposed the motion. He said that Kissane
had not made any restitution to the bank for
the money thus obtained in criminal man
ner, although it appeared that he was we'll
to-do. Lawyer Jones submitted an affidavit,
made by the cashier of the bank, which set
forth that the bank had suffered a loss of
$26,050 by Kissane's forgeries. District At
torney MARITIME was present and favored dis
missing the Indictment, considering the
length of time elapsed, and that Kissane had
reformed and was leading an honest life.
Everything considered, he was not disposed
to call the case for trial at this late day. Re-
corder Smythe Twas not so willing to dismiss
the.matter He said there was no evidencethat
Lawyer Hart was acting with Kissane's con-
sent, and intimated that he would require
assurances on this point before taking ac-
tion. telegram from the principal in the
case would not be sufficient. The parties
then left court.
